Two limited-creep feeding trials were conducted with spring-born, suckling
calves on native grass. The high-energy creep rations containing an ionophore were
fed during the last 63 or 85 days before weaning in the two trials. Creep intake
was limited with salt to about 1.5 lb per calf daily. Calves consuming the
limited-creep feeds gained .26 to .31 lb more per head daily and required 4.4 to
5.5 lb of creep per lb of extra weaning weight.
